you should be looking to apply to a couple of schools less selective than Vanderbilt, Duke or Rice or Wash U…they all have similar issues of more qualified applicants than seats in the freshman class. Carnegie Mellon

Hopkins and Duke are number one and two in Biomedical in the USA…that said…you can also get a huge bang for your buck at schools like Georgia Tech re job searching. So don’t underestmate the beauty of networking if you can do well at Virignia Tech, Georgia Tech and other good state engineering colleges etc. Also liberal arts colleges have plans with many engineering schools called 3/2 plans although most kids find it hard to leave as juniors. Bucknell has good engineering. Swarthmore has an engineering track in a fine liberal arts college. Also, if you can hack a military academy you can get a great boost in your career as an engineer.

I sincerely hope you can go to Vandy if you like it but advise you to have a list of reach colleges mixed with sure bets. Vandy is not a sure admission for anyone anymore. It is easier to get into Vandy Duke Emory than most Ivies but err on the cautious side and apply to other fine colleges that will take you for sure.
